Luke 22:47-53

Jesus Betrayed by Judas

47 ¹While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

49 When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the ²sword?"

50 And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and ³officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs ⁴as you would against a robber?

53 "While I was with you daily * in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours."
